After about a month of travelling when i looked at myself in the mirror i looked at a tanned being.Tanning is not my cup of tea. I wonder why most americans are crazy about tanning?
As i try out different ways and means to get rid of this tan ASAP i wondered was it really a tan or was i growing old? To get over all my fears & demons i decided to consult a derma specialist.
All of us know how cosmetology is a billion $ industry. I was much unwilling to be a part of it. But after much hemming and hawing i finally made up my mind.
On reaching her clinic i realized i wasn't the only soul to be worried about my skin, there were several others in line too. As i rolled my eyes to look for a magazine to bide my time, my eyes met a colorful pamplet. Given my level of curiosity i glanced at it once, dismissed it easily & awaited my turn. Ohh i await my time observing others and wondering what was their chase all about?
Finally my turn comes. As i go about pouring each & every detail i find the doc was all ears. I was glee with joy...Atleast someone listens... She shot her usual round of questions-> Do you eat right? Do you exercise?Any stress ( yeaha i have been jobless for over months now & you talk about stress), any unusual body signs ( no).....blah blah ubll ubllbahd bluu...
For how long have you been seeing this skin darkening thing?...( May be years now)..every year my skin shade is different...
The conversation lasted hardly for about 3 minutes. She wrote down a list of creams & asked me to use them regularly and visit her in a month. Your fee doc...pat came the reply only Rs. 300.
I knew this was going to pinch my pocket ,,but i didnt know what was round the corner.
Waiting at drugstore i wait for the pharmacist to help me out with the list of creams and start enquiring with him about any potential side effects of these creams & medicines. As he tried to assuage my misgivings, his bill was much more comforting..Rs. 900....With a weak heart i inhale heavily b4 i faint...and foot the bill.
On reaching home i look at the presciption to rehearse for my upcoming "Creamy" daily ritual for the month, thats when i looked at the sun screen. It was the same sunscreen which i saw on the pamplet at the docs.....i was !"£$%^&*. MedReps exist....
In the end i realized that i had to go to a doc who told me that i had to use a "SUNSCREEN" so that i didn't TAN.. I am enlightened...I am floating in the air..What a mighty piece of revelation?

I think i might open up my own clinic and this time i wouldnt mind contributing to this billion $ industry, now that i know how they make those moolahs....Any partners???
